I emailed the address above and then was in contact with the study coordinator. This is a study involving Dr. Rosseau. They need participants. They will accept HER2 Stage III or IV individuals within 36 months of initial diagnosis. I am going to sign up I think. They provide some kind of information or study intro and then a free MRI (with contrast?). I think you can read more about Dr. Rosseau at

Again, they are in need of participants. It sounds easy enough.

PS: If you know more about this I'd be glad to hear. Thanks!
